We were up early and did a quick driving tour before leaving Memphis.
AutoZone Park is home to the Minor League Baseball Memphis Redbirds.
FedEx Forum is home to the NBA Memphis Grizzlies.
Bridge across the Mississippi River
The biggest Bass Pro Shop we've ever seen! Also has a hotel and multiple restaurants inside.
Statues of Elvis Presley
and B.B. King inside the Visitor Center.
Wish we had more time to explore Tennessee, but off to Mississippi we go!
We arrived at University of Mississippi, more commonly known as Ole Miss, after about a 2 hour drive.
It was pristine and just beautiful! Blooming flowers everywhere and stunning brick buildings with classic columns and southern architecture.
The Pavilion at Ole Miss houses the basketball arena
which looks brand new.
On the perimeter of the arena, there were several study areas and restaurants. We had to eat at Steak N Shake!
Such history and tradition at the Vaught-Hemingway football stadium.
Matt and I snuck in to get a quick picture on the field.
The campus had so many open quads with large paths, sprawling grass areas and southern charm!
Sorority Row was just amazing!
Look at the sizes of these houses!
The soccer facility was perfect too and this school moved up to the top of Allison's list for now!
Then we drove into the cute college town of Oxford. The clock tower sits right in the middle with cute side streets of restaurants, antique shops, coffee houses
and this cute sweet shop where we stopped for ice cream.
We got sliders at this cute new restaurant Thacker 564 before heading back to campus for the Ole Miss baseball game.
The weather was perfect and Ole Miss beat Southern Miss 7-6!
This place was pretty impressive and I can see why Allison wanted to check it out. It will be tough to beat!
